As we celebrate "Woman's Day" We need to do more.....

As I celebrate "Woman's" Day and as a proud member of this club I wonder....Like all other "special days" such as "Mother's Day", it seems that we are putting the importance of our role on this earth and as the core member of humanity restrictions by only celebrating and bringing attention to us and our causes once a year.  A couple of nice words, pats on our backs, memories, and poof at the end of the day back to the struggle and non-nonchalant ignorance and moving on with life.  It's a catch 22 situation.  In fact it was just yesterday that I wanted to scream and write on the fact in the year 2012 the human condition of the women around the world is not any better than 1975 (the year UN declared March 8 to be the day of the women).  What with Karzai taking back further the rights of the forever struggling women of Afghanistan; the continuing dire situation in Sudan; the struggles and violence the women of the Bosnia and Kosova endure and are still struggling with the psychological impacts of the terror perpetuated on them; the present Turkish Government's aspirations to want to control and degrade the rights and privileges of the women in the country; the women in Syria, Egypt, Bahrain, and all the other autocratic Arab States struggling for their rights, for the rights of their children and for their lives.  Again and again we are reminded of the fact that men around the world do or at least try to dominate, and dictate to us their laws and tell us what is right or wrong for us.  I am mad - are you not?  I am mad that we, the largest and strongest of human species are not voicing our own rights and allowing others to be our voice.  How pathetic is that?  We have seen the impact and strength of the social media in the world over with the Arab Spring.  We should not let politics, bullying, wars and male dominance be the determinant of our lives, we must take back our life and take responsibility and educate and unite all women around the world to fight against the injustices and despotism that is directed to our fellow women.

Here and now I call on all the women around the world in peace and solidarity to walk to the Parliament of their respective country, showing the world that we do not want wars, we want our rightful place as equal partners, governing our lives together and not under the submission of men.  Let us call out "stop the violence", the oppression, the human trafficking of all, and on that one day around the world let all women hold hands in strength and pride in peace and seek the justice that all human beings who are equal have the right to ask ......All of this in silence, peace and forming a chain by holding hands........ Lets.....
